Transhumanism Stories

Prepare for a Martian story of Hard Science and Painful Majic so explosive you'll have to change yourself just to be ready for it. Don't worry, it'll take us four years to get there from Earth, and in the process every cell in your body, now Homo Sapien, will gradually be replaced by Homo Martianus. I wish this deeply queer process alone could prepare you for the harsh nature of the surface. It won't. But, because of it, there is a chance that you'll survive. The systems that govern the planets however; they crumble around our would-be heroes. Human ambition rains from the skies as the foundations of the old world collapse. Write a song of destiny, find your players, and together form a ritual to transmute the reality of the planet Marsha itself into a rousing conspiracy thriller in which every chapter evolves alongside you, and every act is the sometimes uncontrolled demolition of the corrupt old world. When the Coda ends, what will be left of them? A new life on Marsha awaits. It will not be comfortable, but it will be alien. Vivit Terra Nova! Vivit 'l Tera-Rust!

She never asked to lead. She never wanted to be followed. Now, across countless worlds, they call her goddess. Set in a fractured galactic empire after interstellar war, this is a long-form space opera exploring transhumanism, faith, and power across multiple confirmed realities. In the wake of cataclysm, a reluctant figure rises from the ashes of war. Linuka-soldier, survivor, symbol-becomes the unexpected catalyst for something unprecedented: a belief system that spans not just worlds, but entire realities. As her image ascends, so does a movement-one that grows into the first true multiversal religion. You don't need to have read the Galacticide trilogy to begin here. But you're stepping into a universe decades in the making-rich with history, conflict, and consequence. This is a new beginning, and a bold saga in its own right: the rise, rule, and eventual unraveling of an idea powerful enough to unite, or destroy, all that remains. Goddess of the Galacticide blends space opera with psychological drama, mythology, and political warfare on a cosmic scale. Whether you're just arriving or have walked these ruined galaxies before-welcome. The next age begins now.

From now on, this story will only be available for Royal Road. To view the story, remember to look for the same name on Royal Road.

A millennium into the future, the universe is bound by the Resonance. A sacred frequency that governs both soul and star. In an age shaped by the promise of universal peace, the Alliance of Worlds stands as humanity's greatest achievement. But beneath its harmony. And the unyielding law that sustains it. Something is rotting. N'Avira is the Prophet of the Resonance. Feared, absolute, and the only one who can feel the truth beneath reality itself. When she senses an aberrant frequency spreading through a techno cult known as the Volut, an entity engineering gods in pursuit of a twisted immortality, she uncovers a truth that the Alliance cannot survive. To stop it, she must form a forbidden alliance with Ca'Aro. A battle-hardened prince who rejects her faith and trusts only in logic and grit. Enemies by nature, they are forced to confront a reality neither religion nor science can explain. Because the truth is far worse than either of them had imagined. The very systems meant to protect humanity have become the host for something else. Something that seeks to erase the soul itself. Together, they must tear down the illusions of both religion and technology before the Volut becomes the only reality left. And humanity is remade into something unrecognizable.

What if the most dangerous idea of the 21st century is not artificial intelligence, but the enterprise that tells you, "you are an algorithm"? Anti‑Harari begins by dismantling one of the most dazzling narratives of the tech age: the "inevitability" of Dataism. This narrative, circulated under the guise of popular science, is in fact a new theology of power. Just as medieval feudal power was legitimised through divine order, so too is today's algorithmic order legitimised through scholastic dogmas. The reason is the same: to make power permanent. That is why discourse must be as sharp as a sword - and why "new stories" are always needed. This book targets three fundamental dogmas: the reduction of the human to an algorithm, the denial of the will, and the absolutisation of data. It also lays bare the political economy behind them. The author does not leave the discussion in abstract philosophy. He descends to the body - the primary source of the paradigm he calls Somatic Materialism. He maps a somatic terrain stretching from the nervous system to the gut, from microorganisms to connective tissue. This map reveals: the human being is not a closed computational system; we are an open, vibrating, unpredictable ecosystem. For this reason, the issue is not merely intellectual. It is a matter of a new property regime being imposed under the name of "inevitability." It is a matter of sovereignty and production relations taking on a new form through algorithmic instruments. It is a matter of the body becoming a new colonial territory. Anti‑Harari is not against technology. But it is against technology being presented as a destiny independent of power relations. Because behind what is presented as destiny, there is always a design. A spectre is haunting the algorithm. The spectre is the body.

The year is 2152 in Neo York, Detective Lee Morgan has the power to review the memories of the dead stored within hard-drives in their brain. One night, as he's looking over a group of deaths he notices a strange pattern.

In 2016, geologist Yan Ran unearths two perfect superconducting orbs buried in 450-million-year-old Ordovician rock-artifacts that should not exist. When decoded, they reveal the impossible: a lost civilization on Mercury that reached "Silver Age" glory, only to abandon their dying world and upload their consciousness into the void. They became eternal observers, singing one final song across the stars: Born in Flame, Gone to Void. Now, humanity faces the same fate. Betelgeuse did not explode naturally-it was deliberately formatted by a higher-dimensional parasitic network that uses stars as nodes and civilizations as seeds. The countdown has begun. Aboard the starship Ordovician, Captain Neil Musk and scientist Yan Ran chase the truth across the solar system and beyond. Three paths emerge: become new parasites, flee into the void like the Mercurians, or fight back and shatter the mirror of fate itself. But the Mercurians are watching. And they have left humanity one final choice. A hard sci-fi epic of cosmic horror, ancient memory, and the ultimate question: When the universe treats you as a seed... do you grow, or burn the garden down?

In 'My Voor Subspecies,' the story revolves around the Alvothari, who simulate intellectually gifted individuals, with careful consideration of various aspects of being highly gifted.

There's no Biblical evidence that God created any other alien life-forms. God's plan of redemption is exclusively for human beings. The entire universe will be destroyed and remade so that redeemed humans (not aliens) can inhabit it, according to the text. And the four living creatures are neither angels nor men. They might be the highest form of life ever created by God, ranking above the angelic host, second only to the Trinity!

A skilled hacker uncovers a secret that could change her life-but stepping through the digital doorway means leaving everything behind.

CW: Body horror. Other warnings will be before specific chapters if necessary. This is a collection of works within a story-universe, as I write them. Shorts may be interspersed with longer chapters, chat logs, official records, etc- it's meant to emulate a bit of a "found media" style. Sci-fi with transhumanism, aliens, weird tech, found family, and themes of what it means to be a person. Hey, if you're coming back to the description confused after a couple shorts: I ate the context. (You'll get it later, don't worry. Folkdelta is self-contained.) Since y'all are freaky on here, I must posit a disclaimer: if two characters end up having intercourse, it WILL be a fade to black. This probably won't happen anyway because I hate adult scenes that aren't relevant to the plot. That being said, my works are intended for a discretionary audience.
